From the book "The Science of Love and Betrayal"
“ What happens when we fall in love
is probably one of the most difficult things in the whole universe to explain. It’s
something we do without thinking. In fact, if we think about it too much, we
usually end up doing it all wrong and get in a terrible muddle. That’s because
when you fall in love, the right side of your brain gets very busy. The right side is the
bit that seems to be especially important for our emotions. Language, on the
other hand, gets done almost completely in the left side of the brain. And this
is one reason why we find it so difficult to talk about our feelings and
emotions: the language areas on the left side can’t send messages to the
emotional areas on the right side very well. So we get stuck for words, unable
to describe our feelings. ”
